My boombox keep changing playback speed by itself
i recently got this Toshiba RT-120S and a few days ago i finally received the new belt and while the mechanism works perfectly but the motor keeps changing speeds overtime. whats strange is that its not getting slower which would make sense since im using batteries (im getting a new cable tomorrow the original is broken) its actually getting faster. like ill put it to the perfect speed before going to sleep and when i wake up im listening to nightcore metal T_T... i wouldnt mind having to adjust the speed since i do it on my walkman, but i have to open the case each time and its REALLY annoying.
i feel like the culprit could be that it hasnt been used in more than 20 years and its just getting used to being used again. or the boombox is possessed lol
if anyone knows anything just tell me!! (maybe i missed a glaring issue but im new to repairing radios :D)
